Hello All - Recommendations For a New Watch

Hi all,

Trust we are all well.

Am a avid watch collector and looking to add a new one.

So far i am considering:
Breguet Marine Chrono rose gold
Blancpain L'elevotion
at a push maybe a VC overseas chrono rose gold white face on black strap
or...yes a cliche all rose gold daytona or the new one on a leather strap. Something about this watch!

Looking at a budget of between £15k to £23k/ $23k to $40k.

Anyone can recommend something nice?

Conditions:
not yellow gold
dont like hublot
Not an omega fan
and needs to be an established make

Seems like you want a known sporty RG piece? The classic RG Rubberclad would be my recommendation. New dial is shown below. Old dial is also available.

I have to recommend this, my father got one recently.
It is beyond epic, and not something everyone has.

This should be the perfect blend of classy & sport.



Retail $29-30,000

The Artist - Nice watch, nice colours as well. A lot going on there.

BDSK- are you a retailer? if so can you price the two you mentioned above?

MeanM - Those Ap's are great. not a fan of brown leather, as always think that brown leather means a casual watch rather than a dressy one to wear out at night etc... But simple change of strap. What the price on those two?

I usualy purchase my watches from middle east, i will be in dubai end of this month- MeanM - any recomendations on who to see etc...?

No idea in Dubai/UAE.

I'm in Kuwait if you are passing by over here, I could take you to see watches.

It would be nice to meet you in person.
